The National Youth Rights Association (NYRA) is an American youth-led civil and political rights organization promoting youth rights, with approximately 10,000 members. NYRA promotes the lessening or removing of various legal restrictions that are imposed on young people but not on adults, for example, the drinking age, voting age, and the imposition of youth curfew laws.
